Hi,

How much, percentage wise, would you say constitutes a "good solid improvement" on the Kaplan Sectionals? I know, people say they are hard and scores are lower .. . but there's like 7 of them.
For the people that took the exam . .did you guys improve significantly by the end of the 7th? or was your performance more or less the same? How far apart do you take them? every week?
Is that percentage in anyway . .an indicator of how well you will do on a particular section of the exam( besides the AAMC)?

Thanks in advance!

I did the kaplan on-demand course and did most, not all, section tests for the PS and BS. I honestly did not see much improvement as I progressed down the line of section tests. My best gauge for how I am performing are the practice exams. I did Kaplan FL 1-5 and used AAMC #11, 10, and 9 within the past month. I always took about 1 point off per section from my kaplan full length scores because of the inflated scoring system and it actually corresponded pretty accurately to the aamc full length scoring scales.

I know that doesn't help you out a whole lot with your inquiry on section tests but my personal opinion is that the section tests from kaplan are way more difficult than their practice exam sections and aamc sections.
